Psalms 58:8
6 O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
7 May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.
Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.
10 The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
